To assist the European church in evangelism & discipleship.

To identify national pastors or ministries who have a heart for evangelism & discipleship

Look for ways to come alongside them and encourage them in their ministry.

Seek opportunities to offer them IM short-term ministries to support their work, (i.e. English Camps, Discipleship Camps, Women's Conferences, Basketball Camps, Ski Camps, Family Camps, Professional English Camps, etc.)

To purposefully invite & train national lay people to be involved in the camps and in the follow-up after the camps, with an emphasis on training them in relational evangelism & one-to-one discipleship.

To work towards very controlled recruitment for the evangelistic camps so that follow-up is assured.

To draw as many nationals as possible into a concerted prayer effort prior to any evangelistic or discipling ministries that we conduct.

To model the "One Another" principles as a staff in the countries where we serve.

To involve North American pastors and lay people in meaningful front-line ministry to serve the Eastern European church.

To attempt to maximize the impact of serving as short-term missionaries on the lay people's lives that we send into Europe.

To continually evaluate ways to maximize the impact of returning short-term missionaries on their local churches.

To broaden the vision for & understanding of missions in the North American church.

To pray for & play a part in the revival of the European and North American church.
